Questions about the RB-DMX1

Heya guys,

I'm thinking of purchasing this lighting interface but I have a question:

Is it possibe to dim the lights manually through the controller? For example, I think the LED's on my Gigbar are too bright and I want them to be slightly dimmed during the entirity of my set. I would really need that so I wouldn't have to rely on external DMX programming.

Yes, but not really. You'd have to manually adjust every PHRASE/SCENE (there's about 160 of them) and adjust the light level in the Macro Mapping editor. Doable, but probably way more time/trouble/effort then it's worth.

What would you suggest then? I want to stick in the RB ecosystem and not really start DMX mapping with external controllers. What I want is, for example, when there's a wedding dance comming up, some kind of preset where all the LED pars are slightly dimmed in lush red colours and the rest of the lights moves very slowly in a sensual kind of way.

Well, you can also create your own User Scenes and set your own lighting level, colors, patterns, etc. I suppose you could set it up the way you want, then just assign that one User Scene to the entire song? Editing 1 scene is a lot better than 160 I'd imagine, right? That's about all I can think of right now.

OK, so if I'm correctly I can, for example, create a scene called 'Wedding Dance', specifically tailored for my individual fixtures and manually adjust the overall intensity on that scene? And then it's 'drag & drop' or am I wrong here? :D
